Dynamo Daily - May 14, 2010

The Houston Dynamo continued
their inconsistent form with a 3-1 loss to Real Salt Lake Thursday night. Houston finished its
stretch of four games in 13 days with a 2-2 record.

RSL dominated
the play last night and are now locked in a tie with the Dynamo for second
place in the Western Conference. The forward combination of Robbie Findley and
Alvaro Saborio proved
too much for the Dynamo defense. Houstonshowed
better form in the second half, but could not erase the three-goal deficit.
The loss
snapped an eight-game unbeaten streak against Real Salt Lake.

RSL spoiled Brian Ching’s return to the
field. Ching played the last 28 minutes and proved that he is ready to
contribute to the U.S.
men’s national team.

A pair of Dynamo
teammates will miss the May 22 game vs. D.C. United after earning call ups to Canada’s
national team.

Last night at Reliant Stadium, a sold
out crowd witnessed the Mexican national team defeat Angola 1-0. Although Mexico dominated
the game and finished its pre-World Cup U.S. tour undefeated, head coach Javier
Aguirre admitted his team has a lot to
work on before their World Cup opener June 11 vs. South Africa.

On July 31, the Houston Dynamo will host the New York Red
Bulls at Robertson Stadium. There are rumors abound that a certain Frenchman
has signed
a pre-contract to join the Red Bulls after the World Cup. Maybe you have heard of him?
